Anyone here speak Gaelic?

One of which was a news broadcast where everything was spoken in Irish. I always thought that would be a great way to train your ear.

The cassettes/mp3s are dialect non-specific. They mention the dialects though in case one is traveling.

As to the Rosetta Stone... I'm not a fan. I think the linguistic theory behind it is flawed for teaching adults. For teaching children it's great. I think for adults though the best is what is called 'leveraged' learning. So programs like Michel Thomas or Fluenz would be a better choice IMO.
